Backsbottom Farm (Middle Wood), Roeburndale West near Lancaster.

This is a weekend to come and help develop our Forest garden which has been designed by Ruth Theobold.

The Farm is part of the permaculture LAND projects.

Past weekends have had a lot of volunteers from Manchester Permaculture group as well as other areas.

Bring tent, sleeping bag and some food. I will provide some basic food eg pasta, pulses and a selection of veg. There is a portacabin space with kitchen , cutlery etc, fire

Bring instrument and a sense of fun and any ideas that might help develop this garden.

Areas of work might include pruning, mulching, artistic sculptures, planting, building shelter, making mandala beds, hugelculture! And having fun.
